Yoga studios are designed by professionals and seamlessly achieve that fine balance of calming energy and smooth functionality.
However, just like delicious food can be prepared at home if you know the principles and get the right ingredients, knowing the fundamentals of good place-making will help you improve your own space and quite possibly nudge you to deepen your practice.
The first step is to assess your space according to the three levels of holistic design: protection, comfort and delight. Then make the necessary changes, following their correct gradation — start with the root and build up to the crown, as this will ensure lasting results.
The final step is to take a breath, sit down in easy pose, and enjoy the results.
